The Handwash programme is extremely gentle, and the Miele honeycomb drum cushions your clothes as it washes. You can also select a quick wash for lightly soiled clothes, and there are 7 drying levels plus timed drying. With 5 spin speeds, this ensures that you will have low residual moisture levels in your washing to ensure faster drying time, and the sensor drying system prevents the drying cycle going on too long and wasting energy. Condenser drying means the machine does not need venting.

This machine also has an automatic lint flush cycle which removes lint from the condenser unit, and you can also use a manual 'rinse out fluff' programme if you're concerned coloured lint might find its way into a whites wash. The PC update facility means that as laundry technology progresses, a Miele service engineer can come and update your machine - a very useful feature in a machine you can expect to last.

Miele machines are famous for their longevity, designed to have a lifespan of 20 years in normal use. Miele will therefore guarantee to carry spare parts accordingly. Their machines have an enamel coating which is directly applied as a powder, and will not chip, rust or lose its colour in normal use.
